Tokenized stock trading is expanding in overseas markets while U.S. banks block adoption at home. The resistance centers on market structure, custody, settlement, and regulatory oversight—the operational backbone of equity trading. If tokenization gains traction abroad while the U.S. remains closed, global equity markets fragment and traditional brokers and clearinghouses face pressure to adapt or lose access to international flows.
